OUR MANDATE
The Department of Education was established through the Education Decree of 1863 as
the Superior Commission of Primary Instruction under a Chairman. The Education
agency underwent many reorganization efforts in the 20th century in order to better
define its purpose vis a vis the changing administrations and charters. The present day
Department of Education was eventually mandated through Republic Act 9155,
otherwise known as the Governance of Basic Education act of 2001 which establishes
the mandate of this agency.
